"E3 was a festival where I was convinced of the future of the game industry."
The developer of Garry's Mod has announced it is in the process of removing all Nintendo-related content from Steam Workshop after receiving a takedown request from Nintendo.
Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
OK give us Kingdoms of Amalur 2 with AAA budget and we will accept your excuse
Remedy has made a couple of changes to its core management team with the goal to grow Alan Wake and Control into larger franchises.
Changes like not being anti consumer? putting out Alan Wake Remastered on disc but not the sequel?
It was cringe at times but I’ll definitely miss it. It was fun watching the big 3 go head to head on stage.
For real, can we talk about some of the positive things E3 was for once? Did it get out of control and too expensive? Absolutely.
But anyone that pays attention to the industry HAS to admit, for the last 5 years almost every announcement, presentation or showcase has seriously dipped in quality and lacked the excitement they used to have. Why? Because no one is forced to commit to the big moment and everyone is on their own schedules. To me it’s a double sided coin, because although there are definitely benefits to it, having no pressure or competition has turned most things “lackluster”.
Please don’t take this as a blanket statement
, of course there have been a few pleasant surprises… Just far fewer, coming from someone who has been following E3 since it started.
It was cool wile it lasted. I still recall the booth babes!
Not sure why people wanted e3 gone. It was an awesome event full of announcements. It was overall great for gaming.
Many don't realize it was also a very pro gamer event. If companies didn't come out swinging at the event it was considered the "loser"
This was great for gamers because it forced devs to announce things so we knew what to expect from companies. It was gaming Christmas. Such a shame it's gone and now we only get trickles of announcements here and there.
Early E3 was real. The later E3's were similar to playing a live-service game, the outside of the show was there, but in reality, they were just a not so elaborate marketing scheme.
